Will I ever be able to settle down?

Question

In the last 10 years I haven't lived on one place for more than 2 years. When it comes to the end of two years I start looking around for the next place to move to. Is it allright to do this or will I have commitement problems once Im older? Im 28, single and I love my independance!

Answer 1

If you are renting, then you will never accumulate assets with rent reciepts. If buying a home, it takes longer than a couple of years to build equity and come out ahead.
So you are hurting your financal future. tht is a certainty. Otherwise, I know it can be fun to try different places.
I have two homes, and carry my happiness and two loving dogs back and forth with me, and also love my independence.
I have independence, roots, and great companionship whereever I go. And friends in both places too

I'm the same! My Auntie says there must be gypsy blood in me! I'm 39 and have been in this house since March this year and I'm already looking at moving. My daughter is 8 and has had 6 homes and this is the second home for my 18 month old son! Each time I move I promise myself it will be the last move but I soon get itchy feet. I think I will start to settle soon though because my daughter is in a good school and I don't want to move her. Well, not for a two years anyway, we can go when she finishes year 6!

As a child, my parents moved, on average, every four years. I found the whole moving experience exciting because, even though doors closed behind me, others opened in front.

The upshot is that I get bored if I am in the same place for too long. When I met my now husband, who is very routine, I warned him that I was prone to grabbing my backpack and going off for the weekend without even knowing which road I was going to take.

We have invested in camping equipment, we go whenever the mood takes us, I find this helps stop my feet itching.

I am very settled and very happy, but I will always have the need to change my surroundings sometimes.

Answer 4

You may have been moving around over and over coz maybe you haven't found reason enough to make u stay at a particular place or a place that makes u want to continue living in. When u find reason to stay at a place believe me you will. So be cool about it everything has its time and this doesn't mean commitment problems, you'll be fine.

Answer 5

There's nothing wrong with living like that. Guys are more likely to live that way when they're single and then have to adapt to a more stable life-style when they find someone they might consider being commited to. Don't worry so much. You are just gaining experience now that will help you be a good parent.

Answer 6

Petro: You will be ready to settle down when you:
-begin to trust people, for making friendship bond, not to depend on them. You can be independent and be a friend too.
-feel more secure in yourself.
-found a nice place to live.
-have solved family issues from the past.
-fell in love with a wonderful and good woman, who is sincere and faithful, when you find her, Don´t let her go.
-stop being picky and be more tolerant.

Good luck! Bye.
